The terms of a renegotiated deal for New York Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia were transmitted to his representatives over the weekend, but the team has yet to receive a response, according to a team executive.

"We believe it is a very fair offer,'' the executive said. "But we haven't heard anything back yet.''

"I love it here," Sabathia said. "There's nothing like pitching in the pinstripes, and nothing like pitching in front of the fans in the Bronx. I've had a great experience."

Shoppach gets let go despite a late surge that saw him hit four homers in 29 at-bats during September and two more against the Rangers in the ALDS. Shoppach, though, was pretty brutal overall during his two years in Tampa Bay, hitting .185 in 379 at-bats. That did come with 16 homers, but even so, he drove in just 39 runs.

A solid defensive catcher, Shoppach shouldn’t have much difficulty finding work, but he’s probably looking at a paycut to the $1.5 million-$2 million range. The Rays figure to seek a catcher upgrade this winter, though they could re-sign Shoppach if nothing else comes to fruition.
